Barbo ranked last in PNU search for new president
By Jonathan M. Hicap, Reporter
THE newly appointed Philippine Normal University president, Lutgardo Barbo, ranked fifth and last in the screening process among the five candidates for the post, figures obtained by The Manila Times showed.
Based on the weighted scores, Dr. Ester Ogena got the highest with 84.82, followed by Dr. Twila Punsalan, 79.46; Dr. Rosa Maria Llanes, 72.61; Dr. Carolina Danao, 71.93; and Barbo, 69.73.
The school’s search committee graded the five candidates based on panel interview (35 percent), simulation exercise (20 percent), public presentation (20 percent) and profile appraisal (20 percent).
Resigned faculty said the search committee deviated from “generally accepted principles on statistics” to determine the final three candidates for the presidency. This was basis used by the board of regents to select the new university president.
In its formula, the search committee ranked each candidate by each standard, and added the ranks for all criteria to come up with the final three candidates.
Ogena and Punsalan got a score of 7 and were ranked 1.5; Barbo got 14 and was ranked third.
The faculty said, however, the committee should have determined the total score garnered by each candidate based on the percentile allocation for all the criteria before ranking the candidates.
Based on this formula, the top three would be Ogena, Punsalan and Llanes, respectively. Barbo would rank last.
In all the criteria, Ogena was number one in public presentation, profile appraisal and panel interview.
Barbo ranked last in the profile appraisal, fourth in the panel interview, third in public presentation and second in simulation exercise.
The board of regents upheld its earlier decision appointing Barbo as the new university president, which has a term of four years. It also affirmed the formula used by the search committee in coming up with the final three candidates for school president.
The board said Barbo “had all the qualifications,” including education and managerial experience.
Rep. Teddy Casiño of the party-list Bayan Muna has asked the House of Representatives to investigate the selection and the resignation of the university faculty.
